Get Shazzy's Story - #ShazzyFit Challenge

After being given life, our name is basically one of the most important gifts that we are given. Sadly, not everyone appreciates and respects the value of a name. Your name is to become your identity, many times before people see you face, they will have read your name. The next step is to put face to a name in an effort to create a vision of the total package. Am I the only one that does this? "Yes, you do look like a Sharon." "Wow, Anastasia, what a fitting name!" "I never would have guessed you as a William, you're more of a Doug."

What is in a name? Does your name have a deeper meaning that at first glance? I jumped right into the #ShazzyFit Challenge without a second thought as to the meaning of Shazzy. Honestly, I thought Shazzy, Snazzy, Jazzy. Fun, fun, fun. Was I right? No. Was I close? No. The meaning of Shazzy is about more than fun and fitness. It is a solid foundation to build upon. It is rooted in scripture from the Bible. Here is the story of how Shazzy Fitness envisioned The Origin of Shazzy.

The Origin of Shazzy

The Hebrew prophet, Daniel, is a model of the power of faith. Despite dire circumstances, Daniel never let fear override his commitment to God. Daniel's Babylonian name was “Belteshazzar.” (Daniel 1:7)

If Daniel were alive today, his hip-hop nickname just might be... “Shazzy”.

Okay, maybe my Shazzy, Snazzy, Jazzy connection was off the mark, I tried. When I was able to put a name to the face, I was able to create a vision of the total package. I got it! And as the daughter of a Daniel, I am feeling like a little Shazzylita. Okay, that's just silly but I appreciate and respect the value of the name given to Shazzy Fitness with greater understanding.

This Month's Hot Topics

It never ceases to amaze me how beautifully life seems to transition from the golden goodness of fall festivities into celebrations of the holiday season. The joy of enjoying memorable times with family and friends brings about magical moments filled with good eats, hi-tech toys, and a little something special for everyone. Searching for and selecting just the right gift for family and friends has always been one of my personal passions., especially since our family has ventured into a new direction in gifting.

We have found some of the newest trending gift items for family and friends, which we are have researched for the past year, and are now excited to present in our Exclusive 2017 Holiday Gift Guide.

Thank you to all of the generous sponsors that have provided the products and product information for inclusion in our Exclusive 2017 Holiday Gift Guide selections.

As the seasons settle into all of the cozy feels of Fall, we tend to gravitate toward the sense of contentment gained from indulging in comfort foods. Traditionally, as the color palate of nature introduces Autumn's tones and tastes, variations of traditional turkey recipes come to mind. Adding new flavor to our family's feasting, we delighted in a healthy, nutritious family dinner featuring Fall fixings, Brown Sugar Honey Glazed Grilled Pork Loin for a sweet change of pace to the Taste of Now.

Celebrations are often ideal occasions for gathering round with family and friends, serving up mouth-watering recipes featuring pork. Moving forward into new seasons and new ventures, pigs are symbolic to moving ahead as they progress forward in search of bounty (or a little grub), comparatively far more ambitious than the rambling forward and backward hunt of other animals, such as chickens and turkeys. Decades ago, families saved the best cuts of pork to feast upon during such occasions as New Year's Day and other joyous festivities. Today, continuing age-old traditions, we celebrate prosperity and progress with savory pork loin recipes that are "The Taste of Now".
